I always enjoyed their "dates" then went on, just fun superhero stories. Also, when Batman and Robin first found out who she was, Tim as so uncomfortable around her. Some very good "Spider-man" stuff there by Dixon. Tim taking her to lamaze classes later on plays into that too.
She of course stands fine on her own as a character, but they have had real good chemistry as characters together.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
Agree. The dates had so much banter and chemistry. I wish Dixon had really gotten to write them as a couple after Steph found out Tim's real identity, though. He left so soon after that, and there was so much going on in the title, it got kinda lost.
I agree that she is a great solo character, as well, but I think it would be silly to deny there's so much good in the pairing - as friends or as romantic partners. (This is not to deny immaturity on both sides, but I think there's a lot of real fun there.)

My Spoiler action figure arrived! (I haven't found it at Walmart - I got it off ebay. I'm hoping to buy a second one when I find it at Walmart, since on ebay they're going for $30 plus - but I had to make sure to get at least one!)

If I get another one, I'll probably keep that one packaged, but I of course took this one out of the package! I also found the little DC Super Friends Cass Cain Black Bat mini action figure, so now Steph has a friend!

Also, an amazingly cute commission of Steph as Spoiler by the awesome artist Adam Warren, creator of the Empowered comic series (which you can read here! http://empoweredcomic.com/): https://twitter.com/EmpoweredComic/s...29099473920000
(I'm almost bummed that I didn't go to Baltimore this year, but I'm holding strong! I went to DC con this year...have to keep reminding myself of this...)

Okay, here's some closer pics of my new Steph, and some commentary!
First, the text on the back (which steals the nickname "Violet Vindicator" from Batgirl #50 for our favorite Eggplant Adventurer!)
Then some close ups from the front:
Her articulation is pretty good, but the three-part-staff weapon is useless in terms of poseability. I'm thinking of cutting the chains off, so she has escrima. I do like that her filter mask has the Alvaro Martinez/Jason Fabok cloth feel to it, even if I wish Steph would get herself a domino instead.

Now, some side and back views:
Her cape is plastic, and you have to stretch it backwards a bit if you pose her like I am, crouched and ready for battle. But she looks pretty great!
